Kurdistan is a term applied to regions of southeast Turkey, northeast Syria, northern Iraq, and northwest Iran in reference to the Kurdish ethnic majority who live on that land. The Kurds, by and large, want independence from their host nations and to create an independent republic on these majority Kurdish lands.
The difficulty for this comes from two main issues. In the case of Turkish and Iranian Kurdistan, we are dealing with two very strong countries with a developed infrastructure and substantial military power. Even though Kurds punch above their weight as concerns their military prowess, their militias like the Peshmerga could not survive a direct assault against the incredible power of the Turkish Army or the Iranian Army, which are among the three most powerful in the Middle East. Conversely, the Kurds in Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistan have been able to create de facto independence due to the lack of political force able to compel their staying under Arab domination. This has come as a result of the Iraqi Civil War (between the government and ISIL) and the Syrian Civil War. Regardless, Iraqi Kurdistan wishes quite strongly to continue to receive US protection to fight ISIL and therefore must support the US stance that Iraq remain one united, federal republic and not assert independence.
The Kurds primarily live in regions known as Kurdistan, which span across parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. However, they do not have an independent nation-state of their own. Instead, they live as a minority group within these countries.
The way the question is posed is difficult to read. Kurds are humans and therefore they cannot be a state, the same way that Americans cannot be a state. Americans have a State called the USA and Kurds wish that they had a state called Kurdistan. What unites the Kurds as a people or a nation is their language, culture, history, religion, and their warmth and hospitality. Currently, Kurds consider themselves a stateless people or a nation without a state. Kurds are considered a nation because they are an ethnicity with unified traditions and a historic homeland. They are considered stateless because they do not control any independent territories that would conceivably belong to a Kurdish Country.
Kurds should have their own country because their identity is under siege in Turkey and Iran and they have been subject to genocides in Iraq. The only people who look out for Kurds are other Kurds, not the national governments of the countries in which they live.
their bravenes yes i am a kurd and indeed they are clearly identified among all race for their bravery. they will put their heart and all their courage into their country. I'm sure you have heard of salahaddini ayubi, he was a kurdish Muslim, research him then you will know what kurds are like. long live kurds.

Yes. The Kurds are an overwhelmingly insular community.
Yes, but there are minorities of Shiite Muslim Kurds, Yazidi Kurds, and Baha'i Kurds.
According to the World Evangelization Research Center, less than 1 percent are Christian. Statistics on minority groups throughout the region are difficult to obtain. Of the overall 35 million Kurds, there are less the 35,000 Christian Kurds, which makes Christians less than 0.1% of the Kurdish population.
Most Kurds are Muslims, so yes. There are a minority of Kurds who are Yazidi or Zoroastrian which are henotheistic faiths and not strictly monotheistic. There are also Kurds who are Atheists.
The Kurdish people have a homeland that spans parts of Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. They are an ethnic minority group and have historically faced challenges in seeking autonomy and recognition within these countries.
